Monday Feb 23, 2026: All Shows Were Set To Reopen on - But Still Remained Closed Due To The Snow Cleanup
All Broadway shows were set to reopen on Monday Feb 23, 2026 - but as very few Broadway shows usually perform on Mondays anyway, so its not a great feat to get the few ones that do open operational again.
The Monday night Broadway shows that were scheduled were to open were:
- Chicago
- Every Brilliant Thing
- The Great Gatsby
- Harry Potter and the Cursed Child
- SIX: The Musical
At the last minute, all these shows again decided to stay closed for another day, making the closure now two days. It was determined that travel to the Broadway theatres was still too dangerous given the amount of snow that remains on NYC city streets and the city had not yet cleared the streets well enough to make them passable.
All tickets for the evening performances were automatically refunded.

Broadway League Failed In Its Remit
It is not clear why the Broadway League dropped the ball this year, but their argument that most Broadway shows were still open, does not help those affected by the abundance of caution shown by the shows that did close, as the roads were very difficult to navigate for theatregoers and show workers alike, as conditions became more dangerous over time.
The Broadway League is also keenly aware that only about 13% of Broadway audiences now come from out of town, and as a result it places less emphasis on that segment—an approach that risks pushing that share even lower as those audiences are increasingly overlooked.
While the Broadway League was previously regarded as a dependable source for updates, it now appears to limit its public announcements to rare events involving the complete closure of all Broadway theatres, such as weather-related shutdowns, and can no longer be relied upon to provide timely or accurate updates when only some productions are affected.
